Are the Negroes Bulldozed2

Mr. Murat Halstead, the red
mouthed editor of the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette, has a remark
ably foolish article in the Decem-
Der Forum entitled "The Nullifers
of the Constitution" He first
quotes the amendment to show that
the ballot had been conferred on the
negro and that it is further pro-
vided that in case any state de-
MES or abridges the right Of any
person to vote on account of race
or color such state shall have it's
basis of representation in congress
reduced in proportion to the nnm-
Der so DISTINGUISHED. Then he
takes the census to find how many
voters there are in the southern
states, and then shows the number
who actually voted in 1885, and be-
cause they did not vote he assumes
that they were denied the right to
vote, and that hence all the south
ern states have nullified the war
am endments. Even admitting the
ineffable and moo strous lie that the
negroes are overawed and kept from
voting andsthat all who stay away
from the polls are republicans, still
this is done by lawless individuals
and not by the states and hence it
does not fall within the meaning of
the amendment. The amendment
clearly implies, and necessarily so
because it is.the only power that
can deny or abridge the right to
vote, that the denial or abridgment
must proceed from the state. He
does not attempt to show that it is
doLe by the states and everybody
knows that no state does it. The
object of the amendment was to
i prevent the Legislatures of the
states from DISTINGUISHING the ne
gro. Even admitting that the
states do it, Gas big a lie as it is
still by his own showing it is not
because they are negroes, but be
cause they are republicans, and
hence the constitution is not NULL
fed. The constitution doesn't say
that no state shall disfranchise re-
publicans. Mr.. Halstead is not as
big fool as he pretends to be. He
knows that he assumes an inexpres-
sible lie when he pretends to think
that all those who do not vote are
republicans. There are five demo-
Gratis to one republican to stay
away from the polls ordinarily in
this country. Everybody knows
that all che negroes always vote and
never miss. They esteem it grea,
thing and they always all of them
vote. Mr.. Halstead is himself null
iifying the ninth commandment
| The constitution is in no danger
but the republican party is.

Winter Care Of Potatoes.


The potatoe crop Of indiana this
year is email, and it is important
tina. what we have should be prop
erly cared for. Potatoes when dug
should be dried before they are
stored, and yet, long exposure to
sunshine should be avoided. If
they are stored in a cellar they
should not be put on damp pave
ment, or worse, Oh the bare earth
that often forms the only floor of
of cellars. A floor of boards raised
few inches from the bottom of the
cellar should be made, and the Gel
lar itself should be as free as posi-
BILE from moisture. If the potatoes
be well dried and the cellar free
from moisture it makes but little
difference about the bulk, or size Of
the pile, but if there is danger of
dampness, make the pile shallow
say not more than a foot deep. The
cellar should be dark, or the pota.
10 pile covered with something that
viii exclude the light The potato
grows in the dark, and exposure &c
the light for any considerable
length of time affects it unfavora-
bly,. Potatoes keep well if properly
buried N the earth, but the pile
must be carefully made with gooc
floor of straw under it and as steer
on the sides as it can be made. A
heavy coat of straw should b
spread over the pile before it il
covered with earth. This eartt
covering should be six or eigh
inches thick, and the trench arount
the pile, from which the earth Is ia
ken, should be drained, so that wa
ter will not stand in it. The pill
should then be covered with board
or straw so as to keep it dry.-Ex

larry for bleeding after the extract
ing of teeth. 1t has both cleans
ing and healing properties, and is
therefore q most excellent applica-
ton for superficial alterations.
Mustard is another valuable rem
edy. No family should be without
it. Two or three teaspoonfuls of
ground mustard stirred into half
pint OF water acts as an emetic
very promptly, and is milder and
easier to take than salt and water.
Equal pats of ground mustard and
dour or neal made into paste with
warm water and spread on a thin
piece of muslin, with another piece
of .muslih laid over it, forms the in
dispensable mustard plaster" 1t

applied for a few minutes over the
"pit OF the stomach" For all inter
nal pains and congestion there is
no remedy of such general utility.
1t acts as a counter irritant by
| drawing the blood to the surface !;
hence in severe cases of Group q
small mustard plaster should be ap-
piled 10 the back OF the child's
neck. The same treatment will re
lleve almost any case of headache.
A mustard plaster should be moved
about over the spot to be acted up
on for if left IN one place it is liable
TO blister. A mustard plaster acts
as well when at considerable dis
lance from the affected part. An
excellent substitute for mustard
plasters is what is known as anus
tard caves" They come a dozen
in box, and are about four by five
inches. They are perfectly dry,
and they will keep long time. For
use it is only necessary to dip one
in dish OF water for minute and
then apply it.

The court house bell is badly
managed. Tie restrictions placed
upon it by the board are unwise. It
ought to be lsft free to be rung for
all public meetings, but q penalty
should be attached to ringing It
needlassly. Itcculd very easily be
managed thus. If the town au-
tborities refuse to permit the coun-

Chinese Farmers and China Progress

There are reasons to believe that
the trade of this country with Chi
ma will soon grow to majestic di-
mansions. OF the seven million, five
hundred thousand dollars OF exports
to China in the last fiscal year,
nearly five million dollars worth was
of distinctively agricultnra! pro-
ducts, aad Of their manufacture.
OF the remainder, the largest share
was mineral oil. The Chinese com
mission in the United States this
year is charged especially with the
promotion of banks, telegraph and
telephone lines, behind which looms
mp the extension of canals, the in
PRODUCTION of railroads, OF agrlcul-
tural machinery, and of such of
our products as China needs, and
che has need of many. Her home
products. aside from tea, are wheat,
millet, garden vegetables, rice, poor
apples, peaches, grapes, etc. The
food of China is most vegetable and
fish-the extensive sea coast, rivers
and canals supplying the latter
Beef is almost unknown, except
in the foreign settlements, snd ber-
ries are rare; mutton is plentiful;
pork, poultry and eggs are album
dant. Domestic animals. except
dogs are not common. Horses are
scarce, mules are numerous, cattle
in small numbers, but focks and
herds are unknown. The national
habit is opposed to change, and so
the nation Of three hundred mil-
lion souls goes on in "the good old
way" The United States broke
the spell of centuries in Japan. 1t
may yet DO the same for China. We
go for trade and progress, other
nations for trade and conquest and
colonies, and the Chinese leaders
are beginning to understand this.
A modernized agriculture, and
the general introduction of railroad
and wagon service, would rejuven-
